Rocking Around the World: Guns N' Roses' Live Performance of 'Black Leather' and Upcoming Tour Dates
Guns N' Roses recently debuted their live performance of the cover song "Black Leather" at a concert in Fortaleza, Brazil. Bassist Duff McKagan took on lead vocals for the first time since the band's 1993 album, The Spaghetti Incident?. The original version featured Axl Rose on vocals and was released 33 years ago.
